GNU Make VS node-sass

• Portability
  GNU Make is highly portable and can be used across various Unix-like operating systems as well as on Windows.
• Dependency Management
  It efficiently handles complex dependencies between various parts of the software, ensuring that changes are propagated properly.
• Open Source
  Being open-source software, GNU Make is freely available and can be modified according to user needs.
• Wide Adoption
  It is widely adopted in the industry, which means that there is extensive documentation and a large community for support.
• Efficiency
  GNU Make speeds up the build process by only recompiling the necessary parts of the codebase.

Possible disadvantages

• Complex Syntax
  The syntax of GNU Makefiles can become very complex, especially for large projects, making them hard to read and maintain.
• Limited Cross-Platform Scripting
  While the tool itself is cross-platform, Makefiles can sometimes include shell commands that are not portable.
• Steep Learning Curve
  Beginners may find it challenging to grasp the concepts and syntax of GNU Make, leading to a steep learning curve.
• Debugging Difficulty
  Debugging Makefiles can be difficult, with limited tools available to trace or step through the make process.
• Performance Bottlenecks
  For extremely large projects, performance can become an issue, as the evaluation of dependencies might become slow.
